Keeping pets safe, healthy and close to the people who love them.

---

Orcas APS is a donor-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving pets and people across San Juan County. We provide shelter, adoption, affordable veterinary care, and emergency pet support while welcoming animals from overcrowded Washington shelters. With your help, we change lives.​

MEET OUR PETS

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

More than a shelter

Orcas APS is here for animals, and the people who love them. Each year, we help pets through adoption and sheltering, affordable veterinary care, emergency assistance, spay and neuter programs, and other community-based care.
​
Whether we are reuniting a lost pet with its family, helping a neighbor afford essential veterinary care, or giving a homeless animal a second chance, our goal is the same: healthier pets, supported families, and a more compassionate community.

Veterinary care
keeps ​families together

We know veterinary care can be costly and difficult to find. Our community clinic offers qualifying pet owners subsidized preventive care, vaccinations, microchips, spay and neuter procedures, dental care, and limited treatments to help pets stay healthy at home.

​Income eligibility is required. Services are offered by appointment and depend on available staff and resources. Orcas APS is not a full service or emergency veterinary hospital.

Because access to care should never depend on a family's ability to pay.
